Japan RPO Coaching & Consulting [For RPO Vendors]

1. Japan RPO Market OverviewJapan is arguably the most difficult recruiting market in the world given the candidate constrained market along with the competition for candidates, and the numerous cultural barriers faced.

When providing an RPO in the Japan market, the work doesn't become any easier compared to agency-side recruiting -- it actually becomes many times more difficult and complex while each mistake has the potential to be very costly.

5. Our Japan RPO ExperienceWe have provided hands on consulting, coaching and management services to some of the most demanding RPO clients in Japan.

Our systems and approach are informed by 12 years of Japan-based Recruiting and HR consulting experience with 5 of those years focused specifically on Japan RPO and High-End Japan HR engagements at the most demanding clients including Investment Banks, Professional Services and Consulting firms.

In some cases, we have been asked to come in and turn around a failing RPO account (including at a Global award winning RPO firm). In other cases, we have been asked to come in after a previous RPO provider failed and was terminated and then we have immediately turned around the entire account, transforming it into a profitable, well- run and well-regarded account.

We have worked RPO's across all major industries and market segments. In total we have directly managed or advised over 17 Japan RPOs ranging from from local one-country RPOs to Regional and Global RPO's, and dozens of HR consulting engagements.

Our experience and record of success encompasses all manner of RPO scopes and deliverables ranging from MSP's through multi-person onsite RPO's using both client-provided technology and third-party provider technology.
